Johnny Depp to cameo in 'London Fields'

Johnny Depp recently shot a cameo for the crime thriller London Fields, which has been in the works for a long time.

The Hollywood Reporter exclusively revealed the news that Depp will cameo in the film. The likely reason he will appear in a cameo is that his current girlfriend Amber Heard will be in the movie.

Jim Sturgess and Billy Bob Thornton also star in the movie. Shooting began in September in London under director Matthew Cullen, who is a first time film director. Depp was in town while filming scenes for Into the Woods and Mortdecai.

The film is based off of Martin Amis' book from 1989. Heard plays a very sexual psychic who goes to a bar she repeatedly saw in her visions to meet her fate.

The Sleepy Hollow star recently was in the news as he gave a speech about Christopher Lee, who was presented with the British Film Institute fellowship.

Depp called Lee "a great man, a very great man indeed" and that he was a "national treasure." He also said, "It was certainly a childhood dream come true."
